Two children die in Cloverdene accident, 12 others hospitalised
Two children died in an accident in Cloverdene this morning (November 22).
The two-vehicle accident happened on Fifth Road.
William Ntladi, spokesperson for Ekurhuleni Emergency Services, said a seven-seater Toyota Avanza was transporting 14 children along Cloverdene Road when the driver apparently crashed into a vehicle pulling out of a driveway.
“The driver of the Avanza lost control and hit a lamp pole,” said Ntladi.
“Two children were ejected from the car.”
He said the female victims who were flung from the vehicle, aged 11 and 14, were both declared dead on the scene.
The remaining 12 children were transported to the Sunshine Hospital by private paramedic services.
The driver of the Avanza was also taken to hospital.
The three occupants of the second vehicle, a woman and two children, were not hospitalised.
